Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from our sponsors.

Hey there, and welcome to wake me up.

I'm your host Tyler, and I'm so glad that you chose to be here today.

Have you ever felt like you're just on the wrong

side of luck? Maybe things aren't going as expected and it always seems to be

someone else's fault or a difficult situation or even the

position of the planets or the stars in the sky. It's easy to blame other people or external circumstances when things don't go

our way. But the truth is, if we really want things to start going our way, then we need to start by taking ownership of our own lives.

And so this week, we're going to talk about how you can turn your life around

and build that dream you envision in your mind

by being radical enough to take full responsibility

for everything that's happening in your life, both good and bad.

But before we get started, just take a moment to pause.

And let's take a few deep breaths together. So inhale, fill all the way into your chest and your belly.

Hold at the top and then exhale, release.

Now on this next one,

think of something you're trying to cultivate in your life, and take a deep breath and inhale that in.

Hold, and on your exhale think of something you're trying to release and exhale it out. Great, one more time.

Inhales something you'd like to cultivate in life.
